Tommy visiting an avian specialist

UPDATE Tommy:
Traveling with train, bus etc to the Universiteit Utrecht, Faculteit Diergeneeskunde is always quite a pain in the butt. I left 9 AM and got home with Tommy at 3:15PM..lol. But... all for my birds ofcourse! I was very privileged to have two amazing avian specialists looking at Tommy. Dr. Yvonne van Zeeland (who diagnosed the Cushing in Mickey) and Dr. Nico Schoemaker. And ofcourse a "bunch" of students. Nico and Yvonne both thought the best to do is to trim Tommy's beak as good as possible (especially the lower beak with the burst) and the only solution will be for me to train Tommy trying to find a way to keep his beaky (upper and lower) short. They took Tommy and he got anesthesia for this. I was very lucky that from the moment Tommy was sleeping I could join the surgery and at the moment I went in the room Nico and Yvonne told me that they saw that on the inside of his lower beak there was a burst, which went totally to the "bottom" of the beak!! So... that is for sure the reason that his beaky is very weak and if it grows it only gets weaker. :( They trimmed his beak very good and neat. Nico did the lower beak and Yvonne the upper beak LOL. Yvonne loves to trim upper beaks and you can see that in the result, because his beak looks amazing!! A real african grey beaky. he he. So... what I now have to do is training with Tommy to try to trim his upper and lower beak for example with some sandpaper on my finger. trying to do that every day or every other day so that his beak never will grow the way it does now. That is the only solution to this. That burst inside his beak will never be gone. And if the beak grows, it only gets weaker. So... we are going to start with this asasp!!
